Thanks for the detail, Lost.. I really didn't know all that

What it has to do with the ordinary fan? About as much as Stanley's demise in 1962 had to do with the ordinary Stanley fan. Or the liquidation of rumbelows, Woolworths and boo.com had to do with their customers. Businesses have to pay their way and if they don't then they fail, irrespective of the feelings of their ordinary fans/customers.
It's cruel but it also allows for new viable businesses/clubs to come through. My point is that Hereford signed players they could not afford and so cheated their way to staying in the league while other clubs were relegated after behaving responsibly. So I know where my sympathy lies.
